I was looking for decent priced laptop, and came across this. Seems like cheapest price so far.

Speed is really good.

This Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i Laptop is made for heavy on-the-go users working everywhere from libraries and cafes to airport terminals. It has a lightweight and thin profile that's 10% slimmer than the previous generation yet still military-grade rugged and powered by an up-to-the-latest 13th Gen Intel® Core i5 processor and the adaptive performance of Smart Power. The 15.6” FHD display is perfect for learning, working and streaming with up to 88% AAR.

15.6” LED display.
Octa-Core 2.0 GHz Intel Core i5 processor.
8 GB of RAM.
512 GB internal storage.
Integrated Intel UHD graphics processor.
Connections via WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, HDMI, USB 2.0, USB 3.2, USB-C and 3.5 mm audio.
A 12 month warranty is included for your peace of mind.
Battery life of 7.6 hours.
Windows 11 Home OS.
Integrated webcam.
Arctic Grey colourway.

Findings for everyone's visibility (thanks to community for sharing info):

  • Screen is TN panel
  • RAM soldered with no physical slot for upgrade
  • No backlit keyboard (i7 model has that but not this)
  • wifi 6

    8GB? Why do they make these still?

    • dealhunting007 on 01/06/2024 - 19:13

      Surprisingly it was much faster than 16GB in Dell Vosto.

      Still good for MS Paint and OzBargaining on OzBargain.

        OzBargaining on 8GB RAM? Not on Google Chrome

    The i5-12450H in this laptop has a base TDP of 45w and Max TDP of 95w. Your not going get anywhere near 7.6hrs usage considering it only has a 46Wh battery. Also the processor only has 4P cores, and 4e cores.

    The screen is also a low quality TN panel and not IPS.

    According to PSREF (the bible for Lenovo system specs), this has a TN screen.

    If it's anything like the TN screen in my Ideapad 3 (albeit from 2022 and with a Ryzen CPU), it is the worst screen I have had misfortune to lay eyes on. Unless you're looking dead on at it, the colours start to go weird - and even if you are looking at it Just Right, the colours are somewhat washed out.

    (I bought it as a refurb of Grays online - apart from the screen and the garbage tier UMIS SSD they put in it; it's been a perfectly acceptable system.)

      Thank you, i was not aware of that. Interestingly it not mentioned on Lenovo or OW website either.

    Can anyone recommend something decent in this price range (or a little bit more) for BYOD school work with at least 6 hours battery life please.

      Check out the refurb i7 posted today

      Might need a new battery though

      Has USBC charging according to comments so can use a big battery pack

      Edit: this may be a better option though, check posirives and negatives, I'm currently looking for essentially the same as you

      This has less ram, better CPU but more power hungry, more warranty

      Hopefully others can add to this list of positives and negatives

    I think (not 100% confirm) the memory can be upgraded quite easily.

    • bobokingdom on 02/06/2024 - 08:40

      Memory soldered to systemboard, no slots, single-channel (8GB models)

      • dpoon73 on 02/06/2024 - 12:23

        Thanks for this, on YouTube, I saw many videos posted about upgrades, but it is hard to know exactly what model.

        • douglasac10 on 02/06/2024 - 12:27

          I linked above to the Lenovo PSREF website](https://psref.lenovo.com) - if you have the full model number (for Lenovo products, it's 10 characters and usually ends with AU), you can plug it in there and see the specs for that specific model in a good level of detail.

          Alternately, you can plug in the model name (or ideally, the first four characters of the model number) and get a general overview of the model - here's the page for this laptop.
